  1. I spent countless hours fishing with my dad over the years and never had a better time,just wish it was possible to do it again..Cherish the moments!!!!!!!!!! vance
  2. Looked up your problem on iboats .iboats.com/mercury-mariner-outboards/too-much-throttle-kills-motor-609386.html vance
  3. I have one of those and it does get hot IF you try to charge a battery with.It is strictly for maintenance only not charging. vance
  4. Two thumbs up to Cameron Cycle in Peterborough and Suzuki Canada for fixing my out of warranty atv.The time and effort by Cameron will keep me a regular customer. vance
  5. You might want to go outside and check to make sure the unit is not blocked with weeds or debris.Hose the cooling fins with a wide pattern spray(not a jet).you will be surprised by how much dirt and what ever comes out limiting the cooling ability of the condenser.If that doesnt work refer to previous posts. vance
  6. Starbrite hull cleaner took off all the discoloration off my painted hull, sold at Canadian tire. vance
  7. We used to have a similar system on our electric lift trucks at work only on a larger scale,every so often one of the fill valves would stick open and over fill the cell .Battery acid does wonderful things to what ever it touches and the smell is enough to make you faint.I cant imagine the damage that can be done to a boat.. vance
  8. Having your buddy running the trolling motor wearing "crack"pants,as he bends over to haul it up way more than I need to see!!!!! vance
  9. Casting the shoreline and working docks for bass and pike and if my shoulder is acting up trolling for what ever. vance
  10. I used to have the same problem with my minkota but I found the tension adjuster on the foot pedal and now I rarely have to touch it to go in a relatively strait line. vance
  11. I know on my gmc with the factory wiring for a trailer,the lites for the trailer have a separate fuses.so that if the trailer shorts out you still have vehicle lites.I borrowed a trailer and it blew both the signal and brake lite fuses which left me scratching my head until I asked a mechanic who knew about such things. vance
  12. In Mattawa it was strongly felt,my trailer was just rocking. vance
  13. 12 footers are hard to buy,I have been trying to buy one for 6 months and ended up buying a 14ft.For starters ALL the boats in your price range LEAK.. and secondly those that have them want WAY to much for them!!!! vance
  14. Everyone knows the joke that hell will freeze over when the leafs win the cup.BUT with downward spiral of the temperature is this an omen???? vance
  15. Well Paul you have had a few lows in your life but you climbed out of them and you have succeeded when most probably thought you were a goner,My hats off too you!!!!!!!!!!!! vance
  16. I have one for an 8ft box that is available. vance
  17. Spiels the man!!!!!!! vance
  18. In my area we have a lot of wild rabbits,the dogs are actually scared of them.Its funny to see a 100lb dog running from a rabbit.I bet your bunny will live out its natural life span. vance
  19. The service manual is worth $200+ alone.... vance
  20. Its sad but true the WORKERS in a union dont want get invovled with 2% that want to milk the system which as a rule include the reps.Paid my dues for 30 years and I had to keep track of the CALL BOOK for the rep,50 guys in the group 99% of the calls for 4 people,I guess thats why bars arent open on election day. vance
  21. So there is no DEFINITE what is best, I ride the trails 6x a week in Mattawa in the summer and my 500 does everything i ask of it.I ride with guys with big and small bore machines,the ones with the big bores seem to have an idea that they are invinceble.Saddly they are not.If you want to go where NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE make sure you have really big tires,a snorkle and a deep pocket book. vance
  22. I wish you guys would STOP. Waaaay back in 1953 or 54 I got to stay with grama and grandpa on their farm for a month in the early spring because the doctor thought I might be allergic to my sister.I know he was right but no one else did .The smell of wood smoke and boiling sap on grandma's FULLY chromed wood stove has left me permently scarred. I can remember it vividely granpa saying Violet let the boy alone I am cold as I was feeding more wood into the firebox.Her response was Everton go get buckets of water for surely he will set the house on fire..The water was buckets of sap and I dont remember the whole process but after almost 60 years the smell and aroma is still there. vance
  23. I have a trailer for doing exactly that but no boat yet.It is a simple square frame and the axle has 14 inches of clearance to the ground.I added removeable sides and ends so it can be used for a box trailer as well.Its a little wider than my atv and maybe just a tad to heavy but it will take some abuse without breaking. vance
  24. Well it does say LETS GO PLACES on the side of his boat,he just didnt get too far.
